Re: sink creation initialization timings

If I stop the pulse daemon (systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket, systemctl --user stop pulseaudio)then start the daemon with pulseaudio -vvvvv or systemctl --user start pulseaudio everything works, the remap device remap-analog-surround-40 exists and is set as the default sink (no reboot).

I have not tried explicitly using the commands via pacmd - Ill see what happens.

I have a feeling its something to do with profiles - but dont understand why the profiles seem to be activated after everything else and how to change this - well I dont understand profiles.

What happens when you run the commands at terminal without using or relying on default.pa or ~/.config/pulse?
